I have an ABIT NF7 motherboard with onboard NVIDIA nForce2 chipset. I downloaded driver rpms from their website. fedora sees the ethernet controller, but fails at bootup and manual startup. Below is some info I scraped together. Looks to me like the report from modprobe may be the problem. Everything else seems to work... Any clues how to correct the kernel-module version mismatch? I did a build of the source as described on the nVisia website which seemed to compile fine. Installing that rpm by running
gives me a "newer version already installed" message. Anybody else run into this probem?
Command failed: /sbin/modprobe nvnet
Output:
/lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2115.nptl/kernel/drivers/net/nvnet.o: kernel-module version mismatch

while this kernel is version 2.4.22-1.2115.nptl.

Originally posted by Peff Yes, this worked fine. Only bit of advice to others is to make sure the compiled driver is properly copied into your driver directory--mine wasn't.
Thanks, Lopoetve
Can you elaborate on this please? I think I might have the same problem...
